Therapies under development
● Gene therapy – Gene therapy has the potential to improve bone marrow function in individuals with FA since the origin of bone marrow failure is deficiency of an FA gene function. Gene-corrected CD34+ stem cells from FA patients have been engrafted in immune-deficient mice, but successful clinical applications of gene therapy for FA have not yet been demonstrated.[1]
Major inclusion and exclusion criteria for gene therapy in patients with biallelic FANCA germ-line mutations as proposed by International Fanconi Anemia Gene Therapy Working Group.[2]
| Inclusion Criteria | 1. FA demonstrated by a positive test for increased sensitivity to chromosomal breakage with MMC/DEB and determination of FA complementation group A by somatic cell hybrids, molecular characterization, western blot analysis, direct FANCA sequencing, or acquisition of mitomycin C resistance after in vitro transduction with a vector bearing the FANCA cDNA. |
| 2. Bone Marrow analysis demonstrating normal karyotype. | |
| Exclusion Criteria | 1. Uncontrolled infection (viral, bacterial, or fungal). |
| 2. Patients with an HLA identical sibling donor. |
● Metformin – In a mouse model of FA (FANCD2 gene knockout), metformin produced modest increases in white blood cell (WBC) counts, hemoglobin levels, and platelet counts.[3] There was also reduced p53-dependent tumor formation and a suggestion of decreased susceptibility to DNA damage. Metformin has not been evaluated in patients with FA.
